Chapter 109: Honey trap

They all came from the era when people didn’t have enough food to eat.

It's only in recent years that we have started to live a good life.

It’s fine if Fat Five wants to make up for it, but why don’t we see him taking over the job himself?

Instead, all the blame was put on Liu Cuizhi and her daughter.

What a piece of shit.

Song Rui thought about it in her mind but didn't say anything.

Otherwise it would seem like you are trying to sow discord between them.

Liu Cuizhi didn't seem to like what she heard.

Fortunately, Liu Cuizhi is not a person who does not know what is good for her.

She grabbed Song Rui's hand and said, "I know you feel sorry for us, mother and daughter, but let's just leave it at that."

Adding more firewood to the stove, she continued, "My parents passed away early, and my brother and sister-in-law were anxious to marry me off, so they didn't plan to recognize me as a relative. Now I have a family, which is good."

"We've gotten through it no matter how tough it was before. Now he's making more money, the kids are growing up, and it's time for my sister-in-law to get married. It's all good."

"Although my mother-in-law holds the money, she doesn't spend it recklessly. She gives less to my sister-in-law. She doesn't have any other sons, so it will all belong to Xiaojuan in the future."

"So my life is getting more and more fulfilling as time goes by."

Talking about the future.

Song Rui saw a different kind of radiance on her tired face.

At this moment, Song Rui really felt that her life would get better and better as she said.

But the unexpected happened so fast that it caught people off guard.

On the way back, Ling Ye and Shou Biao both looked unhappy.

Song Rui didn't say anything until she got home and asked Ling Ye.

Ling Ye frowned and said, "Just now at Fat Five's place, I heard from Fat Five's mother that Fat Five had been away from home for the past two days, and she thought he was with us."

"Not at home? Didn't he say yesterday that he wouldn't go out these few days because of his mother's illness?"

Tell them you are at home, and tell his home you are with them.

"What was Fat Five doing that required us to keep it a secret? And he was gone for the entire night?"

Ling Ye said: "Shou Biao and I called him out under the pretext of smoking, but he didn't tell the truth. He just said that an old classmate had something going on at home and he went to help."

This lie is a bit clumsy.

What favor could require help all night long?

But he wouldn't say anything, and the two of them couldn't pry his mouth open.

After all, they are brothers, not father and son.

The factory is about to open here, and there are more uncertainties on his side.

No wonder Ling Ye was upset.

Song Rui said, "Why don't you and Shou Biao invite him out for a drink tomorrow? He'll probably tell you after the drink."

"That won't work."

"Why?"

"I want to date you tomorrow."

Song Rui blushed and pouted at him, "Pooh, shameless."

Nan Nan listened blankly for a long time, tilted her head and asked, "Mom, what is a date?"

Ling Ye wanted to start talking nonsense again, but Song Rui slapped him back.

"I'm not afraid of teaching my children bad things."

She held Nan Nan in her arms and explained: "Dating is just hanging out with someone you like."

Nan Nan understood, "Mom, then I want to date you too."

Song Rui smiled, "Okay, then let's go on a date tomorrow."

Ling Ye was left behind and sighed helplessly.

But I would still feel uneasy if I didn't find out more about Fat Five's matter.

I was thinking of asking him out for a drink tomorrow as Song Rui said.

As a result, they knew everything before the next day.

In the middle of the night, the phone suddenly rang, waking up all three of them.

The call was from an unfamiliar number.

After answering the phone, the man on the other end said in a muffled voice: "You know Fat Five, right? Jinjiang Hotel, opposite the Huaxing Nightclub. Come and give him money, or I will call the police to report him for rape!"

The sleepiness in Ling Ye's body was dispelled, and his voice was freezing cold.

"Who are you? Let Fat Five speak."

The man said nothing and just handed the phone to Fat Five.

Song Rui was listening at the side and it was undoubtedly Fat Five's voice.

He said with a choked voice: "Brother Ye, you'd better come over. It's hard to explain over the phone."

Ling Ye was sure it was him, and he immediately got angry.

"You really went out to have sex?"

There were speculations during the day, but no one said anything.

I don’t want to believe that with such a short period of money, Fat Five could do such a thing.

But now the facts are in front of us and no one can deny it anymore.

Jinjiang Hotel opposite Huaxing Nightclub.

I encountered another honey trap like this.

I can make a rough guess.

Song Rui was at home taking care of the children and it was not convenient for her to go out late at night.

As she was getting Ling Ye's coat, she said, "Call the police if it doesn't work. We can't let them blackmail us."

Ling Ye's face looked extremely ugly.

After putting on his coat, he did not forget to hug Song Rui, who was only wearing thin pajamas, and tuck her into the quilt.

"Don't worry. I'll call Uncle Ye if something goes wrong. You continue to sleep. I'll be back when you wake up."

Song Rui felt the warmth of the quilt and felt much more at ease.

But he still warned her: "Don't do it. If someone gets hurt, what will happen to me and Nan Nan?"

"Got it, I won't do it."

Ling Yezhao is indeed much more steady and well-behaved than before.

"What about the money? Should I bring more?"

Ling Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "Just take 5,000."

The money used by several people to build the factory is still in their hands.

Ling Ye took five thousand and went out.

Song Rui turned off the lights and coaxed Nan Nan back to sleep, but she herself could not fall asleep.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the courtyard of Pang Wu’s house, which was shabby but clean and tidy.

There are also patches on the clothes that Liu Cuizhi and Xiaojuan, mother and daughter, had washed until they turned white.

besides……

When Liu Cuizhi talked about the future today, there was a look of anticipation in her eyes.

She talks about her days.

It is becoming more and more promising.

Song Rui felt extremely uncomfortable.

Close your eyes, and the dazzling lights of the nightclub seem to light up again in the darkness.

The light flickered and swayed.

It seemed as if it wanted to put people into the light ball, making them feel dizzy and dazed.

After finally falling asleep, Song Rui had another dream.

She dreamed of Liu Cuizhi and her children kneeling in front of a grave and burning paper.

The mother and daughter were each thinner and more shriveled than the other, with thin arms, long necks, and sunken cheeks.

Liu Cuizhi seemed to have aged ten years out of nowhere, with white hair on her temples and wrinkles of sorrow on her face.

Song Rui walked closer and tried hard to read the words on the tombstone.

Finally I saw the name of Fat Five’s mother.

When I woke up, it was already bright.

Song Rui was worried and called Ling Ye.

A few minutes later, Ling Ye called back and said he would be back soon.

She then put on thick clothes and went out to get firewood for the fire.

Nan Nan saw that her mother was uneasy, so she got up and put on her clothes obediently.

It's just that one of the buttons was in the wrong place.

When breakfast was ready, Ling Ye also came home.

Even though he hadn't slept all night, he still looked energetic.

But his complexion was not good, as black as the ash at the bottom of a pot.

Without waiting for Song Rui to ask, Ling Ye recounted what happened last night.

What Fat Five said about being with his old classmates was true.

It wasn't just helping out, it was going to a nightclub together.
